Thousands of orthotropic deck bridges are in existence throughout the world. Despite the savings and advantages (up to 25% of total bridge mass can be saved by reducing deck weight, as the weight reductions extend to cables, towers, piers, anchorages, and so forth), the US has only about 60 such bridge decks in use as of late 2005.
Railway bridges are built according to the "Manual for Railway Engineering" [12] published by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA). [8] In Australia, the subject is covered in the Australian standard AS 5100.2:2017, "Bridge design, Part 2: Design loads".

A suspended bridge deck will be suspended from the main structural elements on a suspension or arch bridge. On some bridges, such as a tied-arch or a cable-stayed , the deck is a primary structural element , carrying tension or compression to support the span.
The Arch Bridge at Bellows Falls in New England, built in 1905, is a particularly large example of a three-hinged arch bridge. At 540 feet (160 m) in length it was the longest in America when built. [4] The 1888 Hennepin Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis was unusual in that it was both a two- and three-hinged bridge. The bridge was split ...
The Résal effect (named after the French engineer Louis-Jean Résal) is a structural engineering term which refers to the way the compressive force acting on a flange of a tapered beam reduces the effective shear force acting on the beam. [1] [2]
